Will my hearing go back the normal?

[Jamboslane]

I was walking home from a bar and got asked for a lighter by these 2 guys. i told them i didn't smoke and they called me a liar, there was a bit of arguing going on. i went to walk away and one of them punched me in the face, i went to the floor and tried to cover my head but i received quite a few stamps and kicks to the head. I managed to get away and get a taxi home, i felt fine that night but i woke up and my hearing wasn't the same.. my own voice feels louder and deeper, my hearings dull in my right ear and everything in my left ear seems a lot louder, if a door shuts it or a motorbike goes past it just seems to be a lot more sensitive. When i hold my noes and go to pop my ears it also sounds like there's air coming out of my right ear.. it's been like this for 3 days now and i'm not quite sure what to do, i'm getting worried my ears going to be permanently like this? any help would be much appreciated!

It sounds like a concussion - minor will go away on its own... look up to see symptoms and treatment.  On the other hand concussions can be serious.

I hope you filed a complaint with the police... it may help someone else from getting the same treatment.  Doesn't sound like the UK to me.  But, I haven't been in Europe at all in several years.  I do recall the shock way back in about 1990 when a colleague was mugged in Geneva just a block two from the UN facilities. Up to that point I considered Geneva absolutely safe from such.

Back in the 90s I was 6' 6" and 250 pounds, and never had anyone threaten me.  In the US size may not be enough.  

You say paratrooper, so you must be a "tough" guy, seriously, I am a veteran of the US Navy and always hold the higher risk military in high regard, but nothing I was up to doing myself.

Thanks for your advice, i was trying to avoid the doctors as i've got my army selection for the paratroopers in 3 weeks and this is sure going to get me a lengthy deferral with it on my record. Is there any chance i can risk leaving it for 3 weeks? or does it need immediate attention? really appreciate your help, thank you.
